Tim Schmitt reported on the rezone for Robin Mittenthal. Land Use Committee recommended approval at the August 24, 2015 meeting. A couple of residents have concerns concerning potential parking and traffic problems. Mr. Mittenthal stated that he would be putting in a parking lot and would be willing to put up signs to indicate that the driveway is private and not used in conjunction with his business. Other concerns from residents were that the water level may be affected. Assurance was given that this is highly unlikely to lower water table as Mr. Mittenthal will be using a drip irrigation system. It was brought up that liquid manure that will be put on fields nearby may offend some people and the traffic on the road to Mr. Mittenthal's property may interfere with farm equipment that need to get to the fields if people park on the side of the road. Another concerned was the fence that will be used to keep deer out of Mr. Mittenthal's property. Mr. Mittenthal stated that it would be an eight foot fence, with the lower four feet being woven wire and the top four feet would be wire strands and not a chain link fence. He may also plant fruit trees by the fence or use it as a trellis for fruit vines. Discussion held on this property included the following: No residence would be able to be put on this property, when farming equipment are using the road, Mr. Mittenthal may be limiting his hours to avoid traffic congestion, may need setback is this is a organic business, there will be deed restrictions and the property would have to stay as A-B.
